The Group F match in Dortmund, which Portugal won 3-0, was interrupted on several occasions in the second half as pitch invaders got away from security in an attempt to take a photograph with the 39-year-old superstar. “It is a concern because today we were lucky that the intentions of the fans were good,” Martinez told reporters following the match, after Portugal secured qualification for the last 16. “I think that we all love a fan who recognises the big stars who are icons in their lands.”
